Mayor Johnson should stop moving migrants

A CTA bus arrives at the High Ridge YMCA, 2424 W. Touhy Ave., on Tuesday, June 13, 2023. It was one of three buses sent to the YMCA to move migrant families to Daley College. | Kaitlin Washburn/Sun-Times (Kaitlin Washburn/Sun-Times)

I have been following the story of the migrant families at West Ridge YMCA having to move to the far South Side. This makes absolutely no sense at all! Why can’t the migrants at the police stations go directly to Daley College, to prevent extra trauma from unnecessary moves?

Moving the families out of the YMCA to Daley College, only to then move the migrants at the police stations to the Y, makes no sense. This disruption to the West Ridge Y community shows a gross disregard for the needs of the new community members, as well as the teachers and supportive organizations who have kindly stepped up to welcome the families.
